Masengo 8
1 Lyuŵa lilyolyo gatandite malagasyo gannope kwa mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ŵa ku Yelusalemu. Ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito wose ŵapwilingene mu ilambo ya ku Yudea ni ku Samalia, akaŵe achinduna pe.
And Saul was consenting unto his death. And there was a great persecution in that day against the church in Jerusalem: and all were dispersed abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.
2 Ŵandu ŵakwajogopa Akunnungu ŵansichile che Stefano ni kwalilila kwa malumbo gamakulungwa.
And godly men buried Stephen, and made great mourning over him.
3 Nambo che Sauli ŵalinjile kuuwesesya mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito. Ŵajawile mu nyuumba jajili jose ni kwakoposya paasa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Che Yesu wose achalume ni achakongwe ni kwaŵika mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa.
But Saul was laying waste the church, entering into the houses, and arresting men and women, he committed them to prison.
4 Aŵala ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Che Yesu ŵaŵapwilingene ŵajesilejesile mosemose achilalichilaga Ngani Jambone.
Therefore indeed, being dispersed abroad, they went everywhere preaching the word:
5 Che Filipo nombe ŵajinjile mu mmusi wauli ku chilambo cha ku Samalia achilalichilaga ngani ja Kilisito ni Akunnungu kwa ŵandu ŵakutama pelepo.
and Philip, having gone down to the city of Samaria, was preaching Christ to them,
6 Mpingo wa ŵandu paŵagapilikene maloŵe gaŵaŵechete che Filipo ni kwiwona imanyisyo iŵaitesile, wose ŵaapilikanichisye kwa uchenene.
And the multitudes were unanimously giving heed to the things spoken by Philip, while they were hearing and seeing the miracles which he was performing.
7 Pakuŵa ŵandu ŵajinji ŵaŵakwete masoka, gakopweche gachigumilaga kwa liloŵe lyekulungwa. Ni sooni ŵandu ŵajinji ŵaŵatatele iŵalo ni ŵaŵalemele ŵalamiswe.
For many of those having unclean spirits, roaring with a loud voice, went out: and many paralyzed and lame were healed;
8 Nipele kwaliji ni kusengwa kwakukulungwa mmusi wo.
and there was great joy in that city.
9 Jwapali mundu jumo liina lyakwe che Simoni juŵatendaga usaŵi mmusi mo kwa moŵa gamajinji ni kwasimosya ŵandu ŵa ku Samalia, achilitendaga kuti jwelejo ali jwankulu.
And a certain man, by name Simon, was formerly practicing magic in the city, and bewitching the nation of Samaria, saying that himself was some great man:
10 Ŵandu wose chitandile jwannandi kwichila jwankulungwa ŵampilikene jwelejo ni kuti, “Mundu ju akwete ukombole wa Akunnungu waukuŵilanjikwa ‘Ukombole Weukulungwa.’”
to whom all from small even unto the great gave heed, saying, This one is the power of God, called Great.
11 Ŵampilikanichisye jwelejo pakuŵa ŵaasimosisye kwa moŵa gamajinji kwa usaŵi wakwe.
And they gave heed to him, because for a long time he had deceived them with his magic arts.
12 Nambo paŵaukulupilile utenga u che Filipo nkati Ngani Jambone ja Umwenye wa Akunnungu ni ngani ji Che Yesu Kilisito, ŵabatiswe achalume ni achakongwe.
But when they believed Philip preaching the gospel concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
13 Che Simoni nombejo ŵakulupilile, ni paŵabatiswe, ŵajesile ni che Filipo, ŵasimosile paŵaiweni imanyisyo ni yakusimonjeka iyatendekwe.
But Simon himself also believed: and being baptized, was constantly with Philip, both seeing the miracles and the great dynamites performed, was astonished.
14 Achinduna ŵaŵaliji ku Yelusalemu paŵapilikene kuti ŵandu ŵa ku Samalia nombewo ajitichisye Liloŵe lya Akunnungu, ŵaatumile che Petulo ni che Yohana kukwao.
But the apostles in Jerusalem, having heard that Samaria has received the word of God, sent to them Peter and John:
15 Che Petulo ni che Yohana paŵaiche kweleko ŵaapopelele ŵakukulupilila ŵala kuti ampochele Mbumu jwa Akunnungu,
who, having come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost.
16 pakuŵa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵaliji akanantuluchile mundu jwalijose mwa ŵanyawo, nambo ŵagambile kubatiswa pe kwa liina lya Ambuje Che Yesu.
For he had not yet fallen on any of them: but they were only baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
17 Nipele, che Petulo ni che Yohana ŵaasajichile makono gao ŵakukulupilila wala, ni ŵapochele Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
18 Pelepo che Simoni paŵaimanyi kuti ŵandu akupegwa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu kwa kusajichilwa makono ga achinduna, ŵasachile kwapa mbiya che Petulo ni che Yohana
But Simon seeing that by the laying on of the hands of the apostles the Spirit was given, offered them money, saying,
19 achitiji, “Mumbeje none jwakwe ukombole wo kuti mundu jwalijose juchingansajichile makono ampochele Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.”
Give me this power, that on whomsoever I may lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.
20 Nambo che Petulo ŵansalile, “Njonasiche mwasyene pamo ni mbiya syenu, pakuŵa nkuganisya kuti nkukombola kusuma ukombole wa Akunnungu kwa mbiya!
And Peter said to him, Thy silver be unto destruction with thee, because thou hast thought to obtain the gift of God with money.
21 Nganinkola chachili chose atamuno lipesa pamasengo go pakuŵa ntima wenu nganiuŵa wambone paujo pa Akunnungu.
There is neither part nor lot to thee in this word: for thy heart is not right before God.
22 Kwapele nleche ungalumbana wenu wu, ni kwapopela Ambuje nombewo panepa channechelesye sambi sya kuganisya yeleyo.
Therefore repent of this thy wickedness, and pray the Lord, if perchance the thought of thy heart shall be forgiven thee;
23 Pakuŵa ngummona mgumbele ligogo ni sooni ntaŵikwe ni sambi!”
for I see thou art in the gall of bitterness and the bond of iniquity.
24 Che Simoni ŵajanjile, “Ngummenda mwanya mumbopelele kwa Ambuje ganaiche kuumbata gagaligose mwa gelego gansasile go.”
And Simon responding said, You pray to the Lord for me, in order that none of these things of which you have spoken may come upon me.
25 Che Petulo ni che Yohana paŵamalisisye kuŵalanga umboni ni kulalichila Liloŵe lya Ambuje, ŵaujile ku Yelusalemu. Paŵaujaga ŵaalalichile ŵandu Ngani Jambone mmisinda jejinji ja ku Samalia.
Then indeed, witnessing and speaking the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel to many villages of the Samaritans.
26 Katumetume jwa kwinani jwa Ambuje ŵansalile che Filipo, “Nliŵiche chile njaule kulujenda ku litala lyalikupitila mwipululu lyalikutuluchila ku Yelusalemu kwaula ku Gaza.”
And the angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, Arise, and go towards the south unto the way going down from Jerusalem to Gaza; the same is desert.
27 Nipele, che Filipo ŵaliŵisile chile ni kutanda ulendo. Katema ko kwaliji ni mundu jwa ku Esiopia jwakugosa mbiya mu umwenye wa Kandake mwenye jwankongwe jwa ku Esiopia, mundu jo ŵatamaga liuli. Jwelejo ŵajawile ku Yelusalemu kukwapopela Akunnungu, ni katema ko ŵaliji nkuuja ali akwesile mutuka ja kukwekwelemya.
And rising up, he departed. And, behold, an Ethiopian man, a eunuch, an officer of Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasury, had been to Jerusalem to worship,
28 Paŵaujaga, ŵatemi mmutuka akuno ali nkusyoma chitabu chi che Isaya jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu.
and was returning, and sitting upon his chariot he was reading the prophet Isaiah.
29 Nipele, Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵansalile che Filipo, “Mmandichile mutuka jo ni kulongana najo.”
And the Spirit said to Philip, Go, and join yourself to that chariot.
30 Che Filipo ŵautwiche ni kujiŵandichila mutuka jila, ŵampilikene mundu jula ali nkusyoma chitabu chi che Isaya jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu. Pelepo che Filipo ŵammusisye, “Ana nkuimanyilila uchenene inkusyoma yo?”
And Philip running forth, heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said; Whether do you understand what you are reading?
31 Mundu jo ŵanjanjile, “Ana chingombole uli kuimanyilila pangali mundu jwakundagulila?” Pelepo ŵanchondelele che Filipo kuti akwele mu mutuka ni kutama pamo nawo.
And he said, How could I, unless some one shall guide me? And he called upon Philip coming up, to sit with him;
32 Ni liunjili lya Malembelo ga Akunnungu liŵaliji nkusyoma ni ali, “Ŵaliji mpela ngondolo jiŵajijausyaga kukujisinga, ŵamyalele mpela mwanangondolo pakunkata manyunya, Nombewo nganaŵecheta chachili chose.
and the place of the scripture which he was reading was this, He was led like a sheep to the slaughter; and as a lamb before the one shearing him is dumb, so he opens not his mouth.
33 Ŵachembulwisye ni kwaonela. Ngapagwa juchakombole kuŵecheta yankati uŵelesi wakwe, pakuŵa umi wakwe ujigalikwe kutyochela pachilambo.”
In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare His generation? because his life is taken from the earth.
34 Mundu jwa ku Esiopia jo ŵansalile che Filipo, “Choonde musalile, jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu ju akuŵecheta yankati ŵaani? Ana akuŵecheta yankati nsyene pane mundu jwine?”
And the eunuch responding to Philip, said, I pray thee, concerning whom does the prophet speak this? concerning himself, or some other man?
35 Nipele, che Filipo ŵatandilile pelepo pa Malembelo ga Akunnungu ŵansalile Ngani Jambone ji Che Yesu.
Philip opening his mouth, and beginning from the same scripture, preached Jesus to him.
36 Paŵaliji chiŵela ni ulendo wo, ŵaiche pagali meesi, ni juŵatamaga liuli jula ŵatite, “Peuto pa kwana meesi, ana kwana chachili chose chakuunekasya une ninabatiswe?”
And while they were journeying along the road, they came to a certain water: and the eunuch says, Behold water; what doth hinder me from being baptized?
37 Che Filipo ŵatite, “Mwakulupililaga ni ntima wenu wose nkukombola kubatiswa.” Nombejo ŵatite, “Elo ngukulupilila kuti Che Yesu Kilisito ali Mwana jwa Akunnungu.”
38 Mundu jula ŵalamwile mutuka jijime, ni ŵanawose ŵaŵili ŵatulwiche ni kwinjila mmeesi, che Filipo ŵambatisye mundu jula.
And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they both came down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
39 Paŵakopweche mmeesi papopo Mbumu jwa Ambuje ŵanjigele che Filipo ni mundu jwa ku Esiopia jula nganambona sooni che Filipo, nambo ŵajendelechele ni ulendo achisengwaga.
And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more: for he went on his way rejoicing.
40 Nambo che Filipo ŵalisimene aiche mmusi wa ku Azoto, ni paŵapitaga ŵaalalichile ŵandu Ngani Jambone mmisi jose mpaka ŵaiche ku Kaisalia.
And Philip was found at Azotus: and going through he preached the gospel to all the cities, until he came to Caesarea.
